What is WinOpt ?Windows Optimization Tool .For the architects to make early design
decisions on the building to incorporate energy efficiency measures.
3
What WinOpt does ? Takes input from user. Finds out the most energy efficient
configuration for the building by performing optimal number of simulations .
Displays output in tabular and graphical form for analytics.
